Ohio Magazine asked its readers and web-site visitors to vote on their favorite destinations and attractions throughout the state, as it has done for several years running. Full results are available in the January edition of Ohio Magazine.

Darke County attractions and activities picked up a whopping nine “Best of Ohio” wins, and Logan County and Miami County also were well-represented, with Miami County snagging “Best Fine Dining” (Coldwater Cafe) and “Best Summer Festival” (Troy Strawberry Festival) awards.

In Dayton and Montgomery County, the 2nd Street Market and Rose Music Center were repeat winners, and Mikesell’s scored the top award for “Best Ohio-made Food.” Butler County has the best college town in the state (Oxford) and the best tourism trail (Butler County Donut Trail), according to the informal survey.

Ohio Magazine also profiled a select few businesses that are not on the online list of 2020 ballot winners. One of those shout-outs was reserved for St. Anne the Tart in Dayton, which was praised as top “Rustic Bakery.” Here’s a taste of what the magazine said about St. Anne the Tart, which opened in March 2019 at 1500 E. Fifth St., and its neighborhood:

“The St. Anne’s Hill neighborhood near downtown Dayton is a charming historical district full of 19th-century homes, ample shade trees and eclectic eateries. St. Anne the Tart, a bakery and coffee shop, moved into a century-old former violin shop in the neighborhood in 2019, and the rustic-chic, Instagram-worthy spot has already turned into a second living room for many Dayton residents.”

Ohio Magazine is a Cleveland-based travel and lifestyle publication that is printed monthly.

The 2019 Troy Strawberry Festival took place June 1-2, 2019, in downtown Troy around the Public Square and along the Great Miami River levee. Festival-goers enjoyed strawberry treats, festival eats and shopped and hundreds of booths. Did we spot you there? DAVID MOODIE/CONTRIBUTED
